SAN FRANCISCO, CA - JULY 03: A row of parking meters line O'Farrell Street on July 3, 2013 in San Francisco, California. San Francisco's parking ticket fees became the highest in the country on July 1 when the city raised fees by $2 per citation to $74 downtown and $64 for areas outside the city's center.

But Ed Reiskin, director of transportation of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, told the Board of Supervisors on Wednesday that free meters on Sundays is just but one option on the table.

Another option, he said, is to make meters free but enforce the four-hour limit or make motorists pay on Sundays but direct most of the enforcement elsewhere.

“An expensive citation on Sunday would be significantly diminished but not lose a 100 percent of all the good transportation benefit and what we believe is very good policy that program divides.”

He said that option would significantly reduce the possibility of getting a ticket.

The mayor office told KCBS that Lee is only willing to consider “no enforcement” and not more or less.

KCBS, KPIX 5 and San Francisco Chronicle Political Insider Phil Matier said that Reisken’s option of charging meters with less enforcement is bit like playing Russian roulette for motorists.

Reiskin, he said, does not want to lose income from the Sunday meters because it’s used to keep Muni afloat.

Matier also noted that Reisken, was hand picked by Ed Lee and said the different stance on the issue should play out interestingly politically in the next few months because the mayor is trying to pass a $500 million transportation bond for fixing the city’s streets.

“Mayor Lee said he wants one thing and then you have some one within the department and Board of Supervisors that moving against him. I haven’t seen that in a long time at City Hall,” he said.
